I knew it. Teri let out a surprised shriek while my sister, who was right next to her, jumped 1,20 meters high and scrambled at an inhuman pace away from her while covering her ears.
"The fuck?! Don't scream into my ear! I'm only eight years old and my hearing is not adapted to you just yet! Jesus Christ!" I watched her grumble and curse under her breath with amused eyes. Yes, I can't smile. No, it won't be happening anytime soon.
"Anna, don't curse! 1. You're an 8 year old and 2. Your "boyfriend" won't appreciate it. Now, Mary, do you mind explaining what you mean?"...Angela scolded Anna. A four year old kid scolded someone twice her age. Damn. The world is ending...or not.
"Okay. It's a bit complicated and surreal, but my theory is that before we came to this world, we, of course, died, but when we came here, the reality changed. I mean, it would be weird if we just appeared here, right? So when the reality changed, it created a life for us here before, but we died here as well so we are kind of replacing the people that died but were reincarnated and we are their reincarnation. See? I told you it will be complicated and confusing." Teri and Anna were shifting between confusion and understanding, as far as I could tell. Angee was frowning. Then she spoke up.
"So ,you are telling us that we are ourselves but someone entirely different at the same time?"
"More or less. But that aside. Now, we must discuss some things. First thing first, our magic improvement. So, Tereza and Anna can start learning. I will too. However, Angee you will start learning at the age of seven, because it will be too dangerous otherwise because you are too young. However, I know that each one of us has utility magic or magic that is more common engraved in our minds. All I know is that Teri has tracking magic, Angela a small Requip, Anna Invisibility magic and I got teleportation. Second, our identity. I was thinking that we should have middle names and the same surnames that we had in our life before for security reasons. I mean, the events that happened to us, except Angela's, are known throughout Fiore, so it will be safer to have different names. For Angela, I was thinking Penelopa." I glanced at her. She smiled.
"Angela Penelopa Goldenrow. I like that"
"For Teri chose Clarissa. I mean, if that's okay with you." I looked at the redhead, worried that I made the wrong choice.
"Tereza Clarissa Firewood. That's a badass name. Even my surname doesn't sound stupid anymore!" I will take that as a yes.
" And for Anna, Sayenna. We aren't sisters anymore, I mean by blood, so think about your last name. It's entirely up to you." She looked deep in thought.
"I like Anna Sayenna Featherhorn. It has a magical feel to it." My eyes brightened.
"That decided, I think that we should enter our houses search for all the books that are important, for example books about magic, herbology, history, and legends. I will be really strict when it will come to legend books because the legends don't have to be stories and we could learn interesting things. Oh, and don't forget books about animals!"
"So you are telling us to literally find the entire library. Well this will be really hard!" Teri said with irony dripping from her voice. I rolled my eyes.
"For your information, your library is pretty big and most of the books aren't even the ones we need. And please refrain from doubting my decisions in the future because your life may depend on it." Teri scoffed.
"Gee, sorry. I was just making a joke. Nothing wrong with that." I sighed once more.
"Nevermind. Now, go to your houses. Except you, Angee. You come with me." I turned to Angela who followed me to my house. When we went inside, I looked around. It was cozy and it was bigger than it looked on the outside. The kitchen and dinning room were connected, and a big open archway was leading to the living room. A hallway with doors linned up on each side was leading to a bigger door at the end. I suspected that was the library. I controlled my desire to go examine the house and instead turned to Angee.
"You will be staying here with me until you are six. I know that you are twenty one years old mentally, but your body is the one of a child. You can be in your house the entire day, heck, even stay there how long you'd want, but you will eat and sleep here, okay? Now, as I mentioned before, you won't be learning magic until you are seven, so here's your schedule: in the morning, we will train with you. Our physical training will consist of running, archery and all types of fight. In the afternoon, while I meditate with the others, you will study or, if you want, you can just read, explore or watch us and give us advice. And if you agree, I could give special tasks. But right now, let's meet up with the others." For some reason, I said the last two sentences with an evil spark in my eyes. The brunette eyed me suspiciously.
"And what are those 'tasks'?" I looked at her, my eyes sparkling with amusement.
"You'll see. Now come with me. I have a 'special task' for all of you." With that, we left my house and met up with my sister and Teri.
And that's how we found ourselves in the outskirts of Magnolia. After meeting up, Anna and Teri reported their finds and I told them, to their surprise, that we will be going into town. And right now we are enjoying the view on the Fairy Tail guild. For an unknown reason when I looked at the guild, so many emotions rushed to me that I started hyperventilating. The reason why i did was unknown to me. I just did. It suddenly became very hard to breathe, as if someone was squeezing my chest. My heart was pounding so hard that it was hurting. All the sounds died out, as if I fell asleep. My mind was fuzzy and I think I fell to my knees at one point because when I calmed down a bit, I found myself in a group hug with my squad that was talking to me and whispering gentle words. When I calmed down completely, they didn't ask anything, they just looked at me strangely.
"Sorry. Ever since I had the memory of my past, I've been changing little by little. That's also the reason why I can't smile. Anyway, here's the plan. Anna, you will use your Invisibility Magic and enter the guild. Be careful because Makarov will probably sense you. Teri and Angela will act as sisters and go into town and observe, explore and sometimes ask people about the guild. The reason I'm doing this is because I want to examine the current status of Fairy Tail and the time we are currently in, because we don't know a lot about Magnolia or Fiore during this time. You will be reporting through these." I handed each a small lacrima. "Place them behind your ear. Thanks to this I will be able to see and hear the same things as you. Before you ask where I found them, I took them from my house and for some reason I know exactly how they work. Good luck guys and don't mess up!" Teri and Anna looked at as if I was insane.
"Mess up? Are you kidding? If we mess up, Anna gets caught and interrogated and people will despise me and Angela. We never mess up!" Exclaimed the redhead. Angela sighed.
"I could write a book with all the times we messed up because of you."
"Your such a pessimist Angee!" Rolled her eyes Anna.
"No, I'm just being realistic. You really did mess up a lot of things before. However, I hope that when we changed worlds, you changed your behaviour. Actually, scratch that. Your behaviour definitely didn't change. Your aura gives it away. And I'm talking about both of you." Teri fake-pouted.
"Meanie." She then couldn't hold it any longer and laughed. Anna who was next to her, again, once more jumped away.
"Fuck, you seriously need to keep your voice down. Jeez." I shook my head at them, amused. This will be a long and tiring day. But I'm really looking forward to their banter in the future.
